As soon as we got him home, he changed into this inconsolably crying newborn
–the dry, shallow cry of a newborn is unique, so different from older babies–
and that first night after Sue and I had exhausted everything the books said
and everything we could think of (never thought of the baby toss –although by dawn after a sleepless night of frustration and exhaustion for all concerned I had an insight into child abuse…

Yet, within very few weeks, Ethan was sleeping through the night and went on to become an easy, tranquil baby….

So, courage — and if you have gotten this far with good humor and home remedies (baby toss, pinkypacifier), consider it a good sign of better times to come…

saludos y abrazos,

peter
